The teaching & experience of Bufo (Otac)

Ancestral Encounters bridges the tribal, indigenous way of Bufo alvarius, Otac, with the modern Western world. We teach, guide, and hold sacred-medicine ceremony with safety and reverence, in alliance with the Indigenous Comcaac shamans who have been wisdom keepers of the traditional use of 5-MeO-DMT for generations.

Walk with us

Most people who reach out are carrying something: old trauma, grief, burnout, or a quiet sense that there is more. Some come to experience Bufo (Otac) safely with people who know the medicine. Some come to train as facilitators, and some simply feel the call. Tell us where you are, and we will help you find the right way in.
